The Allies made increasing use of
air power to jar the Japs loose on
the wide Pacific front, dropping gas-
oline tanks on enemy strong points
on Bougainville and sending fleets
of bombers to pound installations on
the Marshall islands.
AGRICULTURE:
Meat Production
Farmers received an all-time high
of four billion dollars for livestock
slaughtered under federal inspection
in 1943 as meat production also
reached an all-time high of more
than 24 billion pounds.
Fifty per cent more meat was pro-
duced than during the 10-year pre-
war average, but after allocations
to the government, civilian con-
sumption was held to the prewar
rate of 132 pounds per person. Be-
cause of rationing, however, sup-
plies were more evenly distributed
than formerly.
Meat output for 1944 was estimat-
ed at 25 billion, 600 million pounds,
of which 8 billion, 500 million pounds
will be required for militwy and
lend-lease purposes.
CCC Program
To help stimulate product ~;n and
fulfill,commitments to support crop
md livestock prices, the Commod-
ity Credit corporation spent 3~ bil-
lion dollars during the 1943 fiscal
year.
As of December 18, CCC possessed
32,898,338 bushels of wheat under
[942 loan, while 96,101,516 bushels
were redeemed. CCC wheat stocks
at that date totaled 86,928,000
bushels.
Principal objective of the CCC's
1943 program was to increase the
production of vegetable oils, dairy
and poultry products and meats, and
at the same time to underwrite OPA
price ceilings.
U. S. NAVY:
42 Carriers
• The U. S. finds itself well equipped
as naval operations throughout the
world quicken, with Uncle Sam's
navy boasting of 42 aircraft carriers,
including sleek destroyer-escorts for
protecting convoys. The U. S. start-
ed the war with seven.
Corsair and Hellcat fighter planes
taking off from the carriers' decks
have increased their striking power.
and a deadly new dive bomber has
been put in service. During 1943,
the navy trained twice as many pi-
lots as in 1942, and three times as
many combat planes were sent to
the front.
During 1943, arming of merchant
ships was speeded, 4,000 now being
outfitted with weapons.
FOOD :
Chickens, Points
As the War Food administration
requisitioned 170 rail!ion pounds of
dressed chicken and fowl for the
government. OPA sL ~:hcd point
values on canned vegetables and or-
dered frozen vegetables point-free.
WFA's action was prompted by
the government's inability to obtain
more than 20 per cent of the fowl
they required in recent monlhs, and
the army was said to be particularly
~nxious to get the poultry for Sun-
day dinners at camp and hospital
diets. Civilians may be little affect-
ed by WFA's order, however, since
it does not apply to stock stored
after December 30, 1943.
Because of comfortable stocks of
canned green and wax beans, zero
point values were established for
them. A 10 per cent reduction in
consumer demands for canned peas
and tomatoes during the last two
months led OPA to chop their point
values for No. 2 and 2Vz cans to 15.
In an attempt to move frozen vege-
tables from storage to make room
for record pork stocks, all point
values were removed.
RAILROADS:
Strike Of]
Seeking to avert a threatened
strike after the switchmen, conduc-
tors and firemen and enginemen had
refused his offer to arbitrate their
wage demands against the carriers,
President Roosevelt quickly seized
the nation's railroads for the gov-
ernment.
Representing about 150,000 men,
the three unions had balked at pres-
idential intervention even after the
trainmen and engineers accepted
FDR's proposal, as a result of which
they received an overall pay in-
crease of 9 cents an hour.
Also accepting FDR's offer at the
last minute were the 15 non-operat-
ing railroad unions representing
1,150,000 employees, who suddenly
agreed to a former government pro-
posal of pay increases ranging from
10 cents an hour for the lowest paid
to 4 cents an hour for the highest
paid, but also insisted on overtime
compensation past 40 hours.
Biggest Year
Nineteen hundred and forty-three
was the greatest year in the history
of American railroads.
(1) 725 ~billion ton-miles of freight
were handled, a ton-mile equaling
one ton hauled one mile,
(2) Passenger traffic totaled 85 bil-
lion passenger miles.
(3) Gross earnings exceeded 9 bil-
lion dollars, although net operating
income amounted to 1 billion, 385
million dollars.
LEND.LEASE:
Aid to Russia
With many of its great industrial
cities razed and natural resources
overrun, 3½ billion dollars of lend-
lease assistance bolstered Soviet
Russia in its critical hours.
To the Russ, the U. S. has sent
nearly 7,000 planes, 3,500 tanks, 13O,-
000 sub-machine guns, 150,000 trueks,
25,000 jeeps, 225,000 field telephones,
and 750,000 miles of field telephone
wire.
In addition, the U. S. has sent
1,000,000 tons of steel, 350,000 tons
of non-ferrous metal, 400,000 tons of
chemicals, 600,000 tons of petroleum
products, and more than 18,000
metal cutting tools.
Besides scr, d/ng wheat, flour,
meats, fats and oii:~, the U. S. also
has supplied 10,0[}0 tons of seeds to
Russ farmers.
On the basis of reports for 11
months, the National Safety Council
estimated that America's traffic
death toll for 1943 would reach 23,000,
13,000 below the prewar year 1941.
The north central region of the
U. S. showed the sharpest decrease
for the 11 month period, with 29 per
cent less fatalities than in the simi-
This was a fatal accident.
lar period last year. The mountain
region recorded a drop of 28 per
cent, the south central 24 per cent,
the north Atlantic 22 per cent,
and the Pacific 6 per cent.
Mount Vernon, N. Y., was the
largest city in the country without
a fatality in the first 11 months of
1943, while among cities of 250,000
population or mare, St. Louis report-
ed the biggest decline of 52 per cent
and philadelphia the smallest with
1 per cent.
] OPA UPHELD
Officials of the Office of Price Ad-
I G H L I G H T S • • • in the w~elr, new, ministration in replying to a house
committee charge that the OPA was
guilty of ,'usurpation and abuse of
its powers" pointed out that the
courts have upheld the OPA orders
in nearly all tests.
Out of 4,991 cases to the end of
September, the courts have ren-
dered decisions favorable to the
OPA in all but 291 actions, ofl~-cials
said. They also denied that OPA
regulations have caused "wide-
spread business failures,"
